THE EDIT MENU
The edit menu is where the magic happens. This is where all the settings for the
current preset are available in menu form. Whilst you can access some of these from
the LIVE or PRESET screens, if you want full control of the BCC TDE this is it.
In this section, we’ll go through each of the sub menus in the EDIT MENU.
MODE
The core of this pedal is the 3 unique delay eras at your disposal. The three modes of operation
change how the pedal behaves and gives some unique settings to play with. The options are available
are:
ANALOGUE
DIGITAL
DYNAMIC
Selecting one of these will also change the EDIT MENU layout. See
section further in the manual.
TIME
ANALOGUE
Vintage tape echo unit usually has a record head, a playback head, and a loop of tape. As the loop of
tape travels past the record head, the input signal is written to the tape. It takes a few milliseconds for
the tape to travel to the play head. And thus, a delay is created!
•
SPEED
(40
–
2000)
o
Represents the speed at which the tape loop in an echo unit over the playback heads,
normally measured in inches per second (IPS). The faster the tape speed, the shorter the
delay time and vice versa.
Note. Because our emulation does
n’t
have any moving parts, you can set tape speeds which would never
be possible in real life!
•
H1, H2, H3
o
Each H represents a specific playback head and combination of available on Vintage Tape
Echo Units. Unlike the original tape echo units of the past, not only can you select which
head is enabled, but also select the individual levels and distance of each head.
o
ENABLED
(ON / OFF)
▪
Enable or disable the playback head.
Note. Disabling all 3 heads will result in no delayed signal!
o
LEVEL
(0 ~ 100%)
▪
Sets the volume of the individual playback head.
o
DISTANCE
(20 ~ 100)
▪
Represents the emulated distance of playback head from the record head. The
higher the value, the greater the distance between the record head, thus a
longer delay time.
DIGITAL
•
LINK
(ON / OFF)
o
Links both the left and right delay times to provide a stereo repeat. Turning the LINK off
allows you to set different delay times for the left and right delays.
